Vision To Grow

Audionce

Welcome to Vision To Grow, the podcast for vision-driven entrepreneurs who are brilliant at what they do—but buried under the weight of backend chaos. I’m your host, a systems-obsessed, straight-talking Integrator who lives for turning big ideas into clean, streamlined execution. 🎯 With a background in corporate operations, recruitment, and consulting, I bring over 15 years of experience building high-performing teams and scalable systems. My mission? To help you ditch the firefighting and finally step fully into your CEO role. 👏 Each episode dives into the real-world strategies behind sustainable business growth—no fluff, no theory overload. Whether it's building out team operations, systemizing client delivery, or finally getting out of your own inbox, I bring you practical, done-for-you insights that simplify your business and your life. I blend strategic thinking with gritty, in-the-trenches implementation—because knowing what to do isn’t enough if you’re still doing it all yourself. I work behind the scenes with visionary business owners to create clarity, flow, and breathing room in their days. 👥 I’m a Northern English mum of two, now living in Australia, and I know what it’s like to juggle family, business, and the occasional spreadsheet for a family holiday. From navigating after-school chaos to managing multi-million-dollar operations, I’ve seen it all, and I’m here to help you cut through the noise and scale smart. If you’re ready to grow your business without burning out, you’re in the right place. Got a question or want to connect? Send me a DM on Instagram—I love a voice drop! ❤️

    You’re Not Lost - You’re Evolving (A Growth Episode For Women In Business)

    Send us a text There comes a moment in business where the strategy is clear, the systems are working… but you feel out of alignment. Not broken. Just outgrown. This episode is for every woman who has realised her business is scaling faster than her identity, and she’s now in the uncomfortable, necessary season of becoming the woman her next level requires. I’m sharing the raw truth about personal evolution, the parts of yourself you lose along the way, and what it feels like to reclaim your voice after years of shrinking, surviving, or hiding behind your expertise. Through the lens of my own transformation, turning 40, rebuilding after a hard decade, and splitting my brand in two, this episode explores the identity work that happens behind the scenes when you grow a business and outgrow an old version of yourself at the same time. Inside this episode: ✨ What it feels like when your business grows but your identity doesn’t match it anymore ✨ Why personal evolution is inseparable from business evolution ✨ The versions of you that disappear, and how to call them back ✨ The honest truth about brand clarity, visibility, and why I’m splitting Grow Advantage and Chrissy Elle ✨ How systems, team and operational support create space for deeper identity work ✨ Why authenticity becomes impossible when you don’t know who you are ✨ What’s coming next for Vision to Grow, and why this shift matters If you’re in a season of rediscovering yourself while running a business, this conversation will feel like exhale-level validation.

    Doing The Damn Thing: Becoming The Seeker, The Speaker, And The CEO You Always Said You’d Be

    Send us a text 🎬 Three-Act Journey — Why You’ll Want to Listen  Act 1: The Vision — Becoming Who You Said You’d Be  Learn how one simple word on a whiteboard, Speak, completely shifted Chrissy’s direction for 2025.  Discover the mindset process that helped her reconnect with her “future self” — the one who leads, teaches, and shares without burning out. Hear how journaling, vision boarding, and intentional systems can open space for your next version to step forward.  Act 2: The Shift, From Operator to CEO  The real growth didn’t come from working harder — it came from letting go. Get behind-the-scenes of how Chrissy hired her Integrator, Olivia, and built systems that allowed the business to run without her.  See what it actually looks like to reclaim your CEO lane — and why leverage, not hustle, is the bridge to your next level.  Act 3: The Moment. When It All Clicks  Walk into the HammondCare event with Chrissy — where a single talk turned into a transformational, heart-centred experience. Feel the moment she realised she wasn’t here to fix anymore — she was here to seek: impact, connection, meaning. Leave inspired to design a business (and a life) that can hold you while you do your real work in the world.  💥 3 Key Takeaways You’ll Walk Away With You can’t become the visionary while you’re still being the team. Your next level isn’t waiting in more hustle — it’s waiting in the space you’re scared to create.  Systems aren’t about admin — they’re the architecture that sets you free.

    Why That One Magical VA Or OBM Is Failing You (And What to Build Instead)

    Send us a text If you have ever read a post in a Facebook business post that says. “Looking for a magical unicorn VA who can do it all: strategy, socials, systems, tech, vibes.”  Every founder has written one (or at least thought it). But here’s the truth: that one magical VA or OBM you’re dreaming of? They’re not the answer.  In this episode, I’m unpacking why the “do-it-all” hire so many founders chase is actually setting both sides up to fail, and what to build instead if you want your business to run smoothly without burning anyone out. We’re talking farms, flights, and the operations ecosystem every visionary CEO actually needs.  Inside this episode:  ✨ Why your “unicorn VA” keeps burning out (and why it’s not their fault)  ✨ The farm analogy, how healthy businesses run like well-managed ecosystems  ✨ The first-class flight model. what operational maturity feels like when it all flows  ✨ The real state of the outsourcing industry (and why this model is the future)  ✨ How to build a layered operations partnership that scales sustainably  If you’ve ever said, “I just need to find my person,” this one will change how you think about team, systems, and support forever. You don’t need a unicorn, you need a farm and a flight plan. 🐴✈️  👉 Explore the Fractional Integrator & Operations Partnership - https://growadvantage.com.au/services  Book in a free Sanity Call - https://growadvantage.com.au/contact  Update from your Hiring Advantage Podcast host Chrissy.

    VIP Energy: Structuring Your Hustle Season For Scale

    Send us a text  Let’s talk about hustle… Not the toxic kind, the intentional kind.  This episode is for every service-based founder in a build season, the season where the pace is fast, the stakes are high, and your energy is the fuel that’s carrying it all.  I want to reframe what hustle really means when it’s done with structure, strategy, and support. Because when you learn to channel hustle energy instead of letting it burn you out, it becomes a powerful accelerator for scale.  Through the lens of three powerhouse women, Eva, Julia, and Kristie, I’m showing how short-term hustle, when done right, can unlock your next level of growth. These women didn’t need to slow down; they just needed the right containers, systems, and support to hold their momentum.  Inside this episode:  ✨ Why hustle isn’t the villain, it’s an accelerator when managed strategically  ✨ How to match your business pace to your nervous system  ✨ The truth about scaling fast: you can’t systemise what doesn’t exist yet  ✨ How three founders freed time, scaled their teams, and redefined their CEO roles  ✨ Why your next phase of growth needs both a plan and a pause  If you’re in that season where business is booming but it feels like it’s all on you, this episode is your permission slip to structure your hustle so it works for you, not against you. And if you’re ready to turn that momentum into a solid, scalable system, it’s time for your VIP Day.   👉 [Book your VIP Day here – https://cal.com/grow-with-chrissy/grow-advantage-vip-day] Update from your Hiring Advantage Podcast host Chrissy.

    From Breakdown to Breakthrough: The Truth Behind Alisha’s VIP CEO Reset, and Her Epic Results

    Send us a text This one hit me hard, because it’s exactly why I do what I do.  Today I’m joined by Alisha Wood, founder of Mentoring Young Minds, a tutoring and mentoring business that’s changing how education supports both academics and wellbeing. When Alisha came to me earlier this year, she was running a thriving business, 18 tutors, dozens of kids, endless demand for her tutoring services, while still teaching three days a week and raising two under two.  She wasn’t failing. She was maxed out.  Emails unopened for a month. No time to think. No room to breathe.  In this episode, we go deep on what it looks like to pull a business apart, piece by piece, and rebuild it so it can finally hold you, not break you.  Inside this episode:  ✨ How Alisha turned her burnout into a catalyst for sustainable growth  ✨ The systems and hires that helped her step out of the weeds and into her CEO role  ✨ Why teaching backgrounds make incredible founders (and how that strength can become a bottleneck)  ✨ How to scale a people-centric, high-demand business without losing heart  ✨ The power of having the right structure, so your passion doesn’t become your prison  Alisha’s story is proof that you don’t need to slow down to find clarity, you just need the right strategy and support.  If you’re sitting where she was, in demand, exhausted, knowing something has to change, this episode is your sign.  It’s time to rebuild your business so it serves your life, not the other way around. And if you’re ready to turn that clarity into action, it’s time for your VIP Day.  👉 Book your VIP Day here: https://cal.com/grow-with-chrissy/grow-advantage-vip-day  Guest Links  👩‍🏫 Alisha Wood – Founder, Mentoring Young Minds  🌐 www.mentoringyoungminds.com.au  📸 Instagram – @mentoring.young.minds  Update from your Hiring Advantage Podcast host Chrissy.
